GUNPOWDER SIEGE - SKY HISTORY (Campaign)

Director

Launch promo for the 3-part documentary series Gunpowder Siege as part of the biggest campaign of the year for Sky History.

With a punk attitude, using spoken word, real gunpowder, and our fantastic talent, I reimagined the Gunpowder Plot poem to promote 'Gunpowder Siege', a series focused on the aftermath of the plot. I took a daring approach to one of the most famous moments in British history. With the Prodigy at full blast, an emotionally charged delivery from the actors, explosive captions, striking colours throughout, and clips from the show, I created a memorable way to keep this part of history alive, and get people excited about our most important show of the year. 

My work also included creating bumpers, clip-based promos and key-art ideation. 

In a nutshell, my role in this campaign: Lead Creative, Scriptwriter, Director, Editor.
